Per troppo tempo il caso Pavese è stato trattato come una forma di devianza rispetto ad una ‘ragionevole’ norma, umana e letteraria. Questo libro parte invece dall’ipotesi che la ferita a cui Pavese dà voce esprima in profondità un’irrisolutezza e una fatica intimamente nostre. Il mito di un ragazzo custode del desiderio più autentico, sospeso tra la perdita adulta della purezza originaria e la traduzione mitica (e dunque corporea) di un anelito antico alla totalità, attraversa i libri di Pavese come un filo rosso e forse una spada. Il nostro disagio col tempo, la nostra distanza dal corpo reale, il nostro trovarci esposti alla fragilità delle relazioni umane si specchiano nel poeta delle Langhe. Dai suoi testi egli ci parla, così lontano e così vicino, in una riscrittura dialogica e appassionata della Bibbia, dei Greci e dell’Oriente, di Platone e Petrarca, di Whitman, di Steinbeck e Hemingway, di Frazer e Mann, di Jung e Kerényi, di Dostoevskij e di Nietzsche.

A cura di Nicola Bizzi. Prato, Aurora Boreale 2023, cm.14,8x21, pp.248, brossura. Collana Symbols & Myths. Testo in Inglese Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) was a British poet, writer and playwright of the Victorian era. Active in the aesthetic circle, romantic and then decadent, he met Oscar Wilde and other famous intellectuals and artists of the same environment, attending the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and becoming a friend of the poet, artist and initiate Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Eccentric personality, with a strong taste for artistic provocation, inspired by writers such as the Marquis de Sade, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Charles Baudelaire, his poetry was very controversial, due to its themes (sadomasochism, suicide, lesbianism, irreligiosity); his lyrics are also characterized by original versification solutions, by the cult of paganism and the idealized Middle Ages, and of absolute freedom. From 1903 to 1909 he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature. With Alfred Edward Housman, Robert Browning, Alfred Tennyson, Ernest Dowson and William Butler Yeats, he is considered one of the most representative lyric poets of Victorian literature. He died in Putney (London) on April 10, 1909. Swinburne's literary output is vast and includes poems, plays, songs, novels, short stories and essays on literary criticism. Songs before Sunrise, first published in London in 1871 and dedicated to the Italian revolutionary and Freemason Giuseppe Mazzini, is one of Swinburne's finest collections of poetry. Based on his pagan and pantheistic ideals and on the revolutionary spirit of that time, it is a devoted and warm homage to Italy and the Mediterranean, with references to ancient mythology and the national independence of peoples.
